Inside Rearview Mirror
Before driving your vehicle, check to
see that your inside rearview mirror is
properly positioned. Adjust the rearview
mirror so that the view through the rear
window is properly centered.
WARNING
Make sure your line of sight is not
obstructed. Do not place objects in the
rear seat, cargo area, or behind the rear
head restraint which could interfere
with your vision through the rear
window.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury during an
accident or deployment of the air bag,
do not modify the rearview mirror and
do not install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while driving.
This may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as this
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.

measured by the ambient light sensor (1)
at the upper end of the windshield glass.
Even with the AUTO headlight feature
in operation, it is recommended to
manually turn ON the headlights when
driving at night or in a fog, driving in the
rain, or when you enter dark areas, such
as tunnels and parking facilities.
NOTICE
• Do not cover or spill anything on the
sensor (1) located at the upper end of
the windshield glass.
• Do not clean the sensor using
a window cleaner, the cleanser
may leave a light film which could
interfere with sensor operation.

Headlight delay function
If you place the ignition switch to the
ACC position or the OFF position with
the headlights ON, the headlights (and/
or position lamps) remain on for about
5 minutes. However, if the driver’s door
is opened and closed, the headlights
are turned off after 15 seconds. Also,

High Beam Assist Malfunction
and Limitations
High Beam Assist malfunction
OTM050218NOTM050218NWhen High Beam Assist is not working
properly, the ‘Check High Beam Assist
(HBA) system’ warning message
will appear and
warning light will
illuminate on the cluster. Have the
function inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Limitations of High Beam Assist
High Beam Assist may not work properly
in the following situations:
• Light from an oncoming or front vehicle is not detected because of
lamp damage, or because it is hidden
from sight, etc.
• Head lamp of an oncoming or front vehicle is covered with dust, snow or
water.
• An oncoming or front vehicle’s headlights are off but the fog lamps
are on, etc.
• There is a lamp that has a similar shape as a vehicle’s lamp.
• Headlights have been damaged or not repaired properly.
• Headlights are not aimed properly.
• Driving on a narrow curved road, curved road, rough road, uphill or
downhill. • Vehicle in front is partially visible on a
crossroad or curved road.
• There is a traffic light, reflecting sign, flashing sign or mirror ahead.
• There is a temporary reflector or flash ahead (construction area).
• The road conditions are bad such as being wet, iced or covered with snow.
• A vehicle suddenly appears from a curve.
• The vehicle is tilted from a flat tire or is being towed.
• Light from a vehicle is not detected because of exhaust fume, smoke, fog,
snow, etc.
For more details on the limitations
of the front view camera, refer to
“Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA)” section in chapter 7.
WARNING
• At times, High Beam Assist may not
work properly. It is the responsibility
of the driver for safe driving
practices and always check the road
conditions for your safety.
• When High Beam Assist does not
operate normally, change the
headlight position manually between
high beam and low beam.

Driving Your Vehicle6-50
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage to
the transmission, and tire damage. See
“Towing” section in chapter 8.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember:

[ Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.

[ Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other drivers’ headlights.

[ Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.

[ Avoid staring directly at the headlights
of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or on
slick pavement:

[Slow down and allow extra following
distance. A heavy rainfall makes
it harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.

[ Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if
equipped)

[ Replace your windshield wiper blades
when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.

[ Be sure your tires have enough tread.
If your tires do not have enough tread,
making a quick stop on wet pavement
can cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. See “Tire Tread” section
in chapter 9.

[ Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you.

[ Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.

[ If you believe your brakes may be wet,
apply them lightly while driving until
normal braking operation returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the water.
The best advice is SLOW DOWN when
the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases, refer
to “Tire Tread” section in chapter 9.
